Adventure
If Walls Could Talk
If walls could talk, the secrets they would reveal would be enough to fill volumes of books. They would tell stories of love and loss, triumph and tragedy, of the lives that have passed through their doors and the events that have unfolded within their confines. The walls of the old, rundown mansion on the outskirts of town were no different. They had seen everything from the extravagant parties of the wealthy elite to the quiet, solitary lives of the reclusive owners. And they had kept all their secrets close, until one day, they could no longer keep silent.

The Ancients
Eleven: Erramore anxiously played with the purple snood wrapped around her wrist as she whipped her head around, searching for her daughter. Every member of the palace was lined up on the stairs in front of the Mountain Throne Spire, facing the Royal Square emptied of the commoners. Every member except for Ana and Tarok. Erramore peered down each of the four roads that sloped away from the square towards the Capital bridges, relieved to see them empty. She knew Ana would be playing with her swords and cursed herself for not visiting her chambers that morning to guarantee this very thing didn’t happen.

Confessions of a Hotrod
The water is close to freezing as I hit it hard, but my body is in good condition and functions well, responding positively to regular exercise and careful maintenance. Still warm after recent exertion and the short, brisk walk in a ski jacket from the Union railroad station in the late evening, I know that my life is ending now.

BANA BILAKA by Milo IBATA
The sun rose over the savannah, spreading its golden light across the vast and rolling grasslands of Africa. The animals began to stir, the few lions that remained stretching and roaring feebly, while the gazelles not one to be seen, the elephants trumpeting and swaying their great trunks in rage. But one figure remained still, a solitary figure on the horizon, his long, wild hair blowing in the wind.
